IN ROY'S OWN WORDS...
“I am a third generation horseman with both sides of my family being Arabian horse breeders and trainers. Growing up on the Arabian horse show circuit has developed my passion for good horses. As a youth, I showed all disciplines, Western and English. During my youth show career, I won my first national champion under the guidance of Ray LaCroix in the 17 and under park. At age 13, I rode my first reining horse and was hooked. During those years, Todd Crawford and Kristi Berg helped me with my reining. During college I decided in order to get better I had to go work for another horse trainer. While attending the University of Redlands School of Business, I worked for AQHA world champion Mike Berg. After graduating college, I moved to Bakersfield, California to work for NRCHA Hall of Famer and two-time futurity champion Doug Williamson. After four years and having enjoyed and valued my time working for both Mike and Doug, I decided to look to the future. The time spent with these champions, combined with a lifetime growing up in the horse industry provided me with a solid foundation to start a reining and working cow horse training stable at Green Acres Ranch in Temecula, California. From my experiences, I have learned the importance of customer interaction and communication in the process of training a finished show horse. I enjoy spending quality time with customers teaching them how to become a better horsemen and competitors. I want to continue my passion for training younger horses for aged events, primarily the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity. As a professional my goal is to provide a quality services to my customers. If I maintain the highest standards for my self and those around me, I will be able to provide an unbeatable service.” - Roy Rich |

Family Legacy
Roy has been involved with horses his entire life. Both his mother and father grew up involved with showing, breeding and training Arabians. Following in his family's footsteps, Roy is a horse trainer, exhibitor, breeder and active member of several horse clubs. He enjoys teaching people of all ages how to ride and show while he promotes a comradery in his barn that few high level show barns enjoy.
Roy's mothers' parents, Dr. and Mrs. Harold West, were introduced to the beautiful breed of horse in the late 1950's and soon became heavily involved in all facets of the Arabian horse world. The West family's focus on breeding pure Crabbet Arabians, led to a multitude of athletic, chestnut-colored horses that excelled in Regional and National shows.
His fathers' parents, Raymond and Janet Rich, purchased their first Crabbet Arabian in 1961. In addition to owning and breeding Arabians for three decades, Ray and Jan were the original publishers of Horse and Rider magazine. In the early 1970's both the Rich and West families purchased acreage in Temecula, California to raise their beautiful Arabian horses; both farms, Green Acres Ranch, and Rich Ranch, are in existence today.
Roy spends his days at Green Acres Ranch training his show horses and lesson students, and overseeing the horse show rental facilities. He spends his evenings at Rich Ranch where he is now the owner and head of operations. Rich Ranch is located just a few miles down the road from Green Acres where Roy provides excellent care and large pasture boarding for his clients.
